EXHAUST-HEAD.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 656,989, dated August28, 1900. Application filed February 24, 1900- Serial No. 6,416. Nomodel.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, FRANK MARANV'ILLE and WILLIAM WARDEN, residents ofAkron, in the county of Summit and State of Ohio, have invented certainnew and useful Improvements in Exhaust-Heads; and We do hereby declarethe following to be a full, clear, and exact description of theinvention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same.

Our invention relates to an improved exhaust-head for steam-exhaustpipes, the object of the invention being to provide a device of theabove-mentioned character which will effectually recover all water, oil,and grease which the exhausting steam may contain.

WVith this object in view the invention consists in certain novelfeatures of construction and combinations and arrangements of parts, aswill be more fully hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a view in side elevationillustrating our improvements, and Fig. 2 is a view in section of thesame.

A represents a steam-exhaust pipe, and B our improved exhaust-headsecured thereon. The exhaust-head B comprises a cylindrical casing 1,contracted at its upper and lower ends, as shown at 2 and 3, andprovided in its cylindrical portion with a sleeve or partition wall 4 ofslightly-less diameter than the casing and spaced therefrom andsupported by suitable braces 5. A conical dei'lector 6, closed at itstop, is supported centrally in the sleeve or partition-Wall at by meansof braces 7 and is disposed above the steam-pipe A, and the cylindricalcasing is provided above the upper edge of the sleeve or partition-Wall4 with an inclined separatorring 8, and a ring 9 is mounted in the uppercontracted end of the casing and projects down thereinto for a purposemore fully hereinafterexplained. Thelower contracted portion 3 of thecasing is provided with an outlet-spout 10, adapted to convey the waterand oil to a suitable receptacle therefor, and the steam-pipe Apreferably projects up into the casing a suitable distance to preventany possibility of the return of the water and oil thereinto.

The operation of our improvements is as follows: The exhaust-steam whichcontains water and oil passes up the pipe A and strikes the deflector 6and is deflected against the sleeve or partition-wall 4t, and the waterand oil which are thereby separated from the steam pass down and out thespout 10. The steam is next forced against the under face of theseparator-ring 8, and the water and oil drop down between thepartition-wall 4 and easing 1,and the steam will next strike theseparatorring 9, which latter projects down into the casing and forms ashoulder to stop the up ward passage of any remaining water and oil thesteam may contain.

Various slight changes might be resorted to in the general form andarrangement of the several parts described without depart ing from thespirit and scope of our invention, and hence we do not wish to limitourselves to the precise details set forth, but consider ourselves atliberty to make such slight changes and alterations as fairly fallwithin the spirit and scope of our invention.

Having fully described our invention, what we claim as new, and desireto secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In an exhaust-head, the combination with a casing and a steam-pipeprojecting through and terminating above the lower end of the casing, ofa deflector or condensingwall within the casing and spaced inwardly fromthe wall thereof and terminating at its lower end below the upper end ofthe steampipe, an inclined deflector-ring overhanging the annular spacebetween said deflector or condensing-wall and the Wall of the casing,and a conical deflector disposed over and supported by the steam-pipe,the Wall of said conical deflector being approximately in line with saidinclined deflector-ring, and an outlet at the lower end of said casing.

2. An exhaust-head comprising an approximately-cylindrical casingcontracted at its upper and lower ends, a steam-pipe projecting into thelower contracted end of the casing, a sleeve or partition-wall in saidcasing and spaced therefrom, an inclined separatorring secured in saidcasing above the partia tion-wall, aconical deflector above thesteampipe and adapted to deflect the steam against the separator-ring,another separator-ring in the upper contracted end of the casing and 5projecting down thereinto and an outletspout communicating with thelower contracted end of said casing.

In testimony whereof we have signed this specification in the presenceof two subscrib ing witnesses.
